Spring Flowers Arrive in Southern California

Spring is a bit different in California. In fact, while other parts of the country are still shoveling out from under the last remnants of ice and snow, we are enjoying some pretty nice weather. And although the difference between the seasons may not be as dramatic here in Mission Viejo, we do have reason to anticipate the spring - simply having longer days is reason enough to smile. Just when you may think our town couldn't be any prettier, the spring flowers arrive! Read More about Spring Flowers Arrive in Southern California »

Floral Design Day in Mission Viejo

Floral Design Day is officially February 28th and is a day set aside to honor and celebrate all the talented artisans whose medium is flowers. Of course, at Mission Viejo Florist, every day is designated for floral designs - it is what we do best! If you are looking for flowers for any special occasion, or you simply want to send flowers "just because", make sure to give us a call first. Floral Design Day was originally established to honor Carl Rittner, the founder of the School of Floral Design in Boston. However, it has now grown to be a nationwide holiday that celebrates his legacy, and the many thousands of professionals who perfect their craft every day.  Read More about Floral Design Day in Mission Viejo »

Mardi Gras History

Mardi Gras is a beloved celebration in many communities across the country and around the world. Of course, in the United States, New Orleans is the most iconic of the festivities. Not willing to be limited to just one day of parties, the revelry actually occurs for months prior to Fat Tuesday. But what is Mardi Gras, and why do we celebrate it? The history of the holiday is an interesting combination of pagan hedonism and Christian faith, which has come down through thousands of years. Read More about Mardi Gras History »
